Denver is losing tonight in Minnesota tonight as well.

We made up a game on all three of the top teams in the West today.

Random thought, not good enough to start a thread: The so-called best fans in the NBA are really doing a great job supporting their team! The Thunder are last in attendance!

Pathetic. And SGA is genuinely fun to watch.

This was Ja's response to laser event. Can anyone translate it for me? What does "seen they were cappin" even mean?



“[D]id a investigation seen they were cappin,” Morant said on Twitter when sharing footage of Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins on Sunday. “[S]till let a article come out to paint this negative image on me & my fam & banned my brother from home games or a year. [U]nbelievable.”

Means he thinks they were lying, however the investigation showed that there was an altercation as the Pacers staff described, the only thing they couldn’t confirm was the laser pointed at staff, which if it came from a vehicle you wouldn't see on tape.

The Pacers security guard said it definitely was a gun though, and as Frank Isola said on NBA radio this morning the team security guys aren’t rent a cops, they’re highly trained alot of former cops/fbi agents.

ESPN Sources: As discussions on a new labor agreement continue, the NBA and National Basketball Players Association are expected to extend an early opt-out deadline of Wednesday, allowing the league and union to continue talks on a long-term collective bargaining deal.

In a perfect world, teams would be able to make deadline trades with full understanding of league's future economic structure, but sources say NBA has shown a willingness to step back from its initial push for an upper spending limit on payrolls to get an early labor deal done.

I touched on it on page 1, he admitted here he learned nothing from this.

People in his crew were banned, as I understand it, by the NBA. It's more than likely they did something wrong, even if a gun wasn't involved.

Ja bitching about it shows he isn’t learning from his stupidity.

If I were him, I wouldn’t start talking shite about someone losing a ton of money at Bourre anytime soon. Look at how that went for Arenas and Javaris Crittenden.

Given he not so vaguely threatened to shoot someone on Twitter(and for some weird reason no one cared, not even the NBA) I think there's a chance Ja is going frick up in a big way at some point.


I’ve had the exact same thought. I could see Ja getting hit with like Rico charges or something stupid. Memphis is bad news and the NBA has already let him get away with this.

Thanks for the translation. It is very easy to dislike this team.

I know Memphis isn't much better, but if Ja - and his entourage - ended up in New Orleans he'd probably be dead already

He wouldn’t be getting away with it if he was a Pelican acting like this

True. And what is deal with Ja's father? He gets in scuffs with opposing team members, with Shannon Sharpe and never hear of any repercussions to him. That is strange allowing this behavior.

Evan as obnoxious Lavar Ball was, during his time with NO there wasn't any obstructive behavior.

Memphis is a bizarre team.

Both he and his father are immature and love being the center of attention.

Not sure about his father, but Ja has zero accountability for his actions so I wouldn't expect for these types of issues to stop happening.

Assuming the Lakers make no needle moving deadline deal , what percent chance would you put it at that Lebron requests a trade this offseason?

I'm guessing small but seems like it's not zero.
